2014. Caspase-dependent neuronal dysfunction in R6/2 mice manifests as a reduction of neurotransmitter receptors. Samples were examined with the Olympus IX-81-DSU running in confocal mode. After that, the membranes were washed with TBST and incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1.5 h at RT. MOTS-c is known to regulate metabolic functions throughout the body, including turning glucose into usable energy. A functional metabolism needs proper glucose and insulin regulation, proper energy consumption and usage and optimal mitochondria functioning. PINK1 accumulation in mitochondria requires parkin recruitment to initiate mitophagy. Imaging of mitochondrial trafficking was done using wide-field mode with excitation intensities set to 1% for TMRM (50 nM) and 2% for GFP. 5 D and E), suggesting that mitochondrial vulnerability correlates with caspase-3 activation in distal neuronal compartments. Circumventing the Crabtree effect: replacing media glucose with galactose increases susceptibility of HepG2 cells to mitochondrial toxicants. Mitochondrial stress signals revise an old aging theory. As we showed, acute cold exposure significantly triggered a lower body temperature and a reduction in body weight accompanied by elevated triglyceride and hepatic lipid accumulation. Thus, we evaluated the soma and neurites for mitochondrial cyt c content using microfluidic chambers with 150-µm tunnels that separate neurites from the soma. ; investigation: W.Z. We note that, over time, the difference in mtGFP between distal and somal mitochondrial populations decreased (compare mtGFP distance-dependent slope in DIV5 and DIV14 neurons in Fig. We describe this fundamental physiologic mechanism that controls neurite plasticity/vulnerability and is further amplified during neurodegeneration as “neuritosis.” This neuronal regulatory mechanism is likely important for neurodevelopment and is exacerbated during aging and pathologically in neurodegenerative diseases. We recommend that commenters identify themselves with full names and affiliations. Furthermore, neurite cytosolic extracts demonstrate greater amounts of released cyt c than detected in somal extracts. results suggest that mitochondria may actively regulate metabolic homeostasis at the Caspase activity was 2.2-fold higher in synaptosomal fractions than in forebrain homogenates (Fig. Untargeted metabolomic profiling as an evaluative tool of fenofibrate-induced toxicology in Fischer 344 male rats.

Conserved regulation of cardiac calcium uptake by peptides encoded in small open reading frames. Osteoporosis is a multi-factor and age-related metabolic disease. Cold exposure stress causes hypothermia, cognitive impairment, liver injury, and cardiovascular diseases, thereby increasing morbidity and mortality.

(L) Acylcarnitine shuttle levels, (M) essential fatty acid levels, and (N) the β-oxidation intermediate myristoyl-CoA levels in MOTS-c-ST cells (n = 5). In Huntington’s disease, mutant huntingtin (mHTT) directly binds to the mitochondrial protein import complex TIM23, disrupting mitochondrial protein import (9). Synaptic mitochondria are more vulnerable than nonsynaptic mitochondria to mHTT-induced inhibition of mitochondrial protein import, and blocking mitochondrial protein import induces caspase-3–dependent neuronal cell death (9). (A) Metabolites were measured by mass spectrometry (n = 5).

Protein import activity was quantified in synaptosomal mitochondria and in isolated nonsynaptosomal mitochondria supplied with 20 to 40 nM carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP).

After 48 h of treatment, cells were collected for analysis. ), R01NS077748 (to R.M.F. 6B). Banting lecture. After staining, the phenotype was observed by microscopy in visible light. (B) Elevated caspase-3 activity in neurites is more robust in R6/2 PCNs. Peptidomic discovery of short open reading frame-encoded peptides in human cells. Caspase-3/-7 enzymatic activity was assessed in whole-forebrain and synaptosomal lysates, as we found the enzymatic assay to be more sensitive in detecting caspase activation in our tissue samples. ; Boon, M.R.

Still, the import rate [as measured by import and cleavage of premature (p) ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) and generation of mature (m) OTC] was higher in FCCP-treated nonsynaptosomal mitochondria.

Signals that are sent from the mitochondria to the cell are largely categorized as mitochondrial retrograde signals and have been thought to consist of nuclear-encoded proteins that reside in mitochondria, secondary and transient metabolites, and fragments of damaged mtDNA.
